1t has been the custom Of the Irish party to
trouble about the calumnies with which the land
lord and anti-Irish press have constantly reviled
them. If they were to take action in regard
to tithe of them they would have to give
up working for Ireland and spend their time in
courts of law. Nothing has exasperated their caum-
niators more than this, and Colonel Saunderson's
exploit on Friday night in Parliament and 1.-The

minaton of series of efforts to force the party out
